The Quebec Bar Association said the Charter was illegal. The Quebec Human Rights Council said it was unconstitutional. All you wanted was to pick a fight with the Supreme Court of Canada.

This week Gerard Bouchard, a sovereignist and co-chair of the Bouchard-Taylor commission on Reasonable Accommodation, blasted Drainville saying quite rightly that Drainville tried to whip up Quebec francophone opinion against minorities.

"A sinister ploy" he called it, then pointed out Pauline Marois had the decency to quit and so Drainville should have the decency now to leave.

Drainville has been spinning webs of fabrications and untruths from the beginning. Churchill said a lie gets halfway around the world before truth gets to put its pants on.

There is a delicious irony here because that is exactly what Drainville said Quebecers should do: pull up their pants when it comes to the Charter... and thankfully they did, one leg at a time.

Hockey's best rivalry

Is there a better a sports rivalry than the Habs and Bruins? You have to love it.

Our city takes on a new verve, a new vivacity at playoff time.

Let’s just hope that no matter what happens on the ice, cooler heads will prevail on the streets.

I remember what happened in 2008 when we beat the Bruins. What a mess...

And then again in 2010 when the Habs beat the Penguins, hooligans took over Ste. Catherine street.

It was ugly and the whole world saw it. Not our finest hour when our city was overrun by those dumber than sacks of hammers.

We need zero tolerance from our police and we should all take responsibility to ensure that the yahoos don’t have their way. Win or lose.

We are a proud city with a hockey legacy like no other. Let’s stay classy, let’s stay proud and Go Habs Go.
